Description

Surveying seminal, ground-breaking exhibitions of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, this talk will cover pivotal shows including the First International Dada Fair (1920), an anarchist, nihilist anti-salon of radical art; Entartete Kunst (1937), a show of 'degenerate art' deemed an 'insult to German feeling' by the Nazis; the first Exposition Internationale du Surréalisme (1938), which presented radical new art forms to a scandalised Parisian art scene; When Attitudes Become Form (1969), a pioneering presentation of Conceptualism, Arte-Povera, Post Minimalism and beyond which established the 'curator' as a defining figure; Magiciens de la Terre (1989) at the Pompidou Centre, an incensed response to MoMA's Primitivism in C20th Art (1984); Sensation (1997), the headlining exhibition of 'young British art' at the Royal Academy and Olafur Eliasson's The Weather Project (2003 - 4) at Tate Modern, for many the most memorable of the Turbine Hall commissions which marked a new role for museums in commissioning new, contemporary art.
